Abstract
Advances in information and communication technologies are significant for the improvement of healthcare services in developing countries. This is also one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. We propose a healthcare network and compute the optimum transmission parameter (data packet or segment size) for applications needed to guarantee the perceived quality of service, through NS2 based simulation of a state wide area network infrastructure implemented in Himachal Pradesh, a state in the Western Himalayan region of India. We classify the different healthcare applications and services according to their QoS requirements, as per guidelines in an ITU report on network performance objectives. The infrastructure specific optimum values of segment size for these classes of applications (running as FTP over TCP) are computed.
